`Love Boat` Backs Into Reruns

June 06, 1986|By Carolyn McGuire.

`The Love Boat`` sails from Saturdays to Fridays with repeats at 9 p.m. starting Friday on ABC-Ch. 7. Even though ABC cancelled the series after nine seasons, devotees of Gopher, Doc, Isaac and the rest of the ``LB`` crew probably can count on a summer of reruns.

In Friday`s episode, Isaac (Ted Lange) falls in love with the choreographer (played by Phylicia Rashad) for ``The Love Boat`` mermaids while Judy (Patricia Klous) has a romance with a rich man (Gordon Thomson) who has ties with the mob.

Elsewhere on the ship, Gopher (Fred Grandy) tries to settle a laundry strike.
